Joel Baker’s Music Video is a Touching Tribute to His Mother

RETROSPECT by Hunter T. [Poem]

Refurbished by Ben Brizell The broken delusions, the fading past. Tanned girls in crop tops, pale girls with inverted crosses tattooed on their face. All wallowing on the delusion of the self. Cocaine tables on buses, throats slit on shop corners. The overarching reach of emptiness. just another bump or so they say. The melancholy hangs, deftly in the air; suicidal and words carved in … Continue reading Refurbished by Ben Brizell [Poetry]

Past Present and Future by Luis Valdes [Poetry]

Past Present and Future Luis Valdes As I reflect on my past life, I deflect what represents negative thoughts during my present. Prepared to embrace my future, These time lines represent different shades of me… Who I was, who I became as well as the obstacles that I conquer. I look behind at my past life…demons and ghouls inside of my soul … while I … Continue reading Past Present and Future by Luis Valdes [Poetry]
